The Hockey Star’s Remorse
Chapter 22
Chapter 22
After getting back to the apartment, I’d barely set down my things before my phone began to ring. I groaned, not having the patience for any human interaction. It didn’t help that the plane ride home had left me exhausted.
With a sigh, I grabbed it from out of my bag. I barely registered the name on the screen before I thoughtlessly picked up the call.
“Hello?” I said, dropping my keys on the counter. I hurried over to the kitchen and opened the fridge. “This is Evie.”
“Hi, Evie,” Timothy’s voice came through and I nearly dropped the bottle of fruit juice I had grabbed.
I placed the container on the counter and cleared my throat. “Timothy. Hi.”
“Sorry, this is sudden. Considering I just saw you,” he said with a laugh. “I was wondering if you had time this week to discuss the case a bit further?”
“Of course.” I grabbed a glass from the pantry and filled it up with the juice. “Just give me a time, and I’ll likely be free.””
He hummed thoughtfully. “Tonight at four sound good? At the firm?”
“Sounds perfect.” I took a sip of my juice and cringed at how squeaky my voice had sounded.
“Great,” he said, then there was a pause. It seemed neither of us was ready to hang up, at least immediately.
Finally, I spoke up, taking advantage of the silence. “Thank you, by the way.”
“Hm?”
“For yesterday. With my panic attack…you helped a lot.”
I couldn’t see his face, but I could envision the smile that he had grown just based on his tone. “It was no problem,” he said gently.
My grip tightened on my phone and I pressed it closer to my ear. “I’ll talk to you later.”
